I took those conclusions from the auditor very seriously, as you can imagine, and they became the immediate focus of my review. There is absolutely no evidence that there was any form of collusion or that those payments were made in any untoward way. Those payments were made and received in good faith on the issue of the executive director. I think the audit report also says that the executive director, at least on two occasions, made very senior officials of the department aware of concerns he had. One of those discussions took place about mid-career for my predecessor, and the other conversation took place after his retirement.
The role of the executive director was focused by job description. In the office, by work description, the role was focused on managing the investigative function of the office. The administrative function of the office was largely provided through service provision with the department.
